[101jumpergirl101]

great job but their reins r too long

[rockandroll345]

Those boy have the worst manners ever! And they do not know what the heck their doing and swearing off like that so rude that may be able to jump but I would never give em a horse with the way they behaved at the end!

[hamsterakXXL]

1: 12 :(( 

[bb123699]

I which i had ponies like that! My pony jumps horrible!!!

[thehannahporter]

thoses boys are too cockey and over confident and showing off they will come a cropper one day

[Coolio2314]

how high are they jumping

[Horsepassion4life]

They are good riders, but need more «style» in their riding.. But It's good that they are able to stay on a saddle and keep their horses going! Good progress! (are they all brothers?)

[HORSEYMAD1000]

really good riders! horses are cute too , they are all fantastic riders!

[Mosely10]

wow great riders and horses!!!!!!!

[erihama]

@Mosely10 Thanks we ar looking for a new barn now

[Mosely10]

@erihama to keep your horses at or to ride at

[Mosely10]

@erihama to ride at or 2 move ur horses?

[birdgirl10]

[yahamagirl160]

[Simbafani1]

theyre having tooons of fun =) the ponies seem to be enjoying it too! =D

[chloeb74]

they are soo cute! Great ponies.. little naughty but arnt all ponies haha. just careful cus when they facked falling they were swining there whips if they werent that quiet the ponies they could of trampled the kids. and that would most likely be fatal just i know you have had the safety comments but just saying no offence but otherwise there good riders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nomnom482]

Great Jumpers but even though they need to drive those ponies, they needn't kick them so much, a simple whack on the hind quarters should do. But thats just what I've been taught

[HotFudgeRide]

wow the first boy jumping is REALLLLYY good

[LittleWernMelody]

Ren is an amazin little rider who will go very far in the future days to come. Please tell him that he is one of the best 10 year old riders i've ever seen in my life time also around at the shows for a long way!!!!! He is amazing so dont let anyone knock his riding!!!!!!!!!xxx

[LittleWernMelody]

I Love serene!!!! Neo's Pony i think!!!? Neo is so sweet when he is jumping as he just jumps anything he thinks he is capable of!!!!! It's so sweet!!!! Another Question is why do you keep a headcollar on Leo's Pony even if he is wearing a bridle!?!?

I Love all your boys jumping and all the ponies too!!!!!!

[fcthecool]

GReat riders!! cuteeee ponies!

[101HunterJumper101]

Why do you let your kids swear like that??

[PNpanther2015]

omg great i am not the only boy who rides horses yes i have videos of me riding and i thought i was the oy who rides

[101HunterJumper101]

They all are great. but Ren is OUTSTANDING i saw the video of him 3'6 thats amazing!!!!

[enlightenmeonly]

omgoodness for their age they are great!!! i agree with kickbuttequestrian def. need to work on crest release and they will look much better. also when going over the bounces for me its easier to hold my 2 point but thats just me everyone and every trainer is different! but the boys soooo adorable and hope to see them shine!

[Hope4Height]

HAHA that was good :P cant jump like &*^% that was pretty good :D

[kickbuttequestrian]

it helps the pony if they do a crest release when going over a jump.All they have to do is have their hands slide up the ponies neck and i promise they have a really good chance at equitation jumping in shows

[Huntergirl104]

his names ren!!! haha srry

[Huntergirl104]

i like the kid in the red shirt with the chesnut pony!!! he's great!!!

[Huntergirl104]

all their ponies need are changes and they are all set to do the pony hunters!!! haha they are rlllllyyyy cute!!!!!

[xxxxxHorseCrazyxxxxx]

haha i think there pretty good

[leaetlulu]

Oula...

[BeckyM246]

they look good, and confident, and there only young =)

[Atlantababy96]

omg god he rides terrible his arms are al up the bloady pace he can't jump you have to lean forward not just f****** bounce all oveer the place and when the pony gets out of the jump he yanks on his mouth and when two were cantering he bloady whipped it and it was ridiculas the way the other boy copied him and let the pony get out

[moonie014w]

[erihama]

[tweak1200]

[DAponygirl135]

[danimals45]

hahah ur kids r hilarious!!:) and very nice riders

[erihama]

We try to keep it fun the ponies respond better to fun energy

[XxHellKittyyxX]

i dont think theres anything wrong .horses are big animals

[lifeisweet]

they are all very good riders, especially ren! wow! that little buckskin is so cute. he pops over the jumps like they are nothing!

[erihama]

Yaa he is a real jumper

[horseluvergirl1]

please stop hitting the poor pony with the whip so many times and so hard im sure the pony would like it and neo needs to work on his jumping postion a little more

[olliebaba319]

wow! they are amazing riders! the ponies can jump so highh.. soo cutee

[erihama]

the boys say thanks

[Emmerzon]

I definitely agree about children riding ponies.

Personally, since I am short 5'3 even as an adult I prefer a good sized pony over a horse.

Horses and ponies are unpredictable,

a 1200lb animal is going to do no favors for a 50lb child if they should fall down on them.

Ponies, although they can be tricky, are far less intimidating than a big horse you can;t even see over the back of,.

[misscrackerlover1]

Dont listen to the shitty stuff some people say. their good riders! :]

[Jumpinlvr]

and your ponies are saints for putting up with your kids--i want to come save them!!!

you really shouldnt post your 8 year old kid saying shit on the internet!

[erihama]

OOOHH shit you are right

;>)

[Jumpinlvr]

You shouldn't be jumping that big even with a good trainer--your kids are far from the olympics

[piobair750]

ur crop should be on the inside hand at all times

[erihama]

I would perfer one in each hand

just in case

;-)

[broncbusterdan]

What if you are going Strait? Do you hold it up in the air?

[Jumpinlvr]

i thought that it was supposed to be on the outside

[broncbusterdan]

My niece has been taking lessons at a Jumper stable and they only taught her a bunch of technical crap. First learn how to stay on, then get technical. She finally took a header into the rail, fracturing her jaw, breaking ribs, puncturing lungs, and rupturing her spleen. Now she rides with me, and she's learning about horses instead of equitation. I'm not saying equitation isn't important, but comfort and control of the animal are infinitely more important.

[erihama]

Well said

thanks

[broncbusterdan]

I think you are one helluva dad. My son is only three and is probably a couple months away from his first solo, but I hope he'll be riding like your sons in a few years. I commend you on letting them do silly stuff and goofing off a bit. Again, great job with your boys, my son wants to jump now, I train cutting horses, so we'll have to see about that english tack. :-)

[erihama]

Get the book Traing A Tiger by Earl Woods

you will then nderstand more of what it takes "boys are differant than girls"

[horselove1887]

i also just noticed they sit in the mid of some jumps.

[horselove1887]

they are good but sometimes you just try to jump to high to fast.

[erihama]

True but not the case here

;=)

[horselove1887]

In my opinon (no offense but these children (certain ones maybe all) shouldn't be jumping this high. They don't have good enough position. I ride 2 though.

[maymayrox]

"I am far more nervous watching any child on a horse that on a pony"

that makes absolutely no sense... horses are generally much better for children than ponies... theyve got better heads and are a ton quieter...

[erihama]

Maybe so but I have seen quite horses at shows throw kids over my head and in ½ the cases a ambulance takes them away. If you take a 50 pound weight (the kid) and raise it the distance difference between a 12 hand to 15 hand and drop it on your hand it probably will break something

A fall of a pony they maybe cry but will get back on a fall off a horse they dont even cry because they are winded and if they can they limp off

[canadianjumpergirl14]

okay... you can diss me but some horses are the best... I find ponies are really stubborn! Okay.. I fell off my horse but I'm a nervous wreck.. a girl from my barn rode a ex-eventer and she didn't win any ribbons but she did fabulous even though Any ( the horse) wanted to gallop!

[auntblanche]

I LOVE These videos and your boys. Go boy riders!!!

Check out the Ronnie Mutch Scholarship for your boys when you have a chance. I've forwarded links of your videos to a boy rider and his sister. Their new pony reminds me a little of Ren's new pony. Please just ignore the very ignorant comments regarding children riding "ponies-in-training". I think they have no idea how ponies progress through various phases of training.

[erihama]

closing date was jan 9 09

Thanks we will apply

[fullponygirl]

there small but really good riders

[flamingpoet6887]

they jump higher than me haha. super cute

[SavvyAllTheWay]

Nice.. i miss seeing you guys at the SVEA shows

[erihama]

I got fed up with paying for fees that were not warranted but the final straw when then cash lady just left a lady came over while I was filming Ren in the 2.9 class and accused me of not paying for the round well the only proof I had was the Cash lady wrote in here hand writing on the back of Rens Number plate. So probably 10 show now we have not attended and $250.00 per show we spend there Other shows have tickets you buy or they give you the benefit of the doubt.

[SavvyAllTheWay]

ohh yeah i know what your talking about.....The boys are really good riders, and the ponies are cute...

[marianeves]

why do your boys jump better than me? that's not fair

[cowgal58]

And does Benny still jump like shit??

In a way. hahaha. Wow you let your child curse?? Wow. haha they are amazing little riders

Intense falls at the end.....xD

[cowgal58]

they are SOOO cute!!!!

[dragonflystables]

Can I send my Granddaughter to you guys? I am such a fan of what you are doing with your boys!

[stupidblond428a]

lol at 1:56. i think theyre good riders considering their age! they look like they love riding
